Boulder to hold open house on Arapahoe Avenue reconstruction project Monday

The city of Boulder will hold an open house Monday to provide details on the reconstruction of Arapahoe Avenue, between Folsom and 17th streets, scheduled to start in late spring and end in the fall.

The open house will be at 5 p.m. in the Creekside Room at the West Senior Center, 909 Arapahoe Ave.

The meeting will cover the proposed transportation improvements and the anticipated construction timeline, traffic impacts and detours associated with the project.

The project is funded by the 2011 voter-approved capital improvement bond, which allowed the city to leverage existing revenues to bond for about $49 million to fund projects that address significant deficiencies.

For more information on the project, contact Noreen Walsh at 303-441-3266.
